   • According to Singhal AK (2011)

     Excerpt The aim of present work was to evaluate the wound healing property in normal & diabetic animals by oral & topical administration of ethanolic extract of leaves. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that AN leaves extract applied topically promotes healing of wounds more significantly as compared to oral application, in both normal rats & alloxan induced diabetic rats, where healing is otherwise delayed,.

   • According to Singhal A (2011)

     Excerpt nervosa showed significant wound healing effect in normal (topically treated) and diabetic (both topically & orally treated) rats. AIM:The aim of present work was to evaluate the wound healing property in normal & diabetic animals by oral & topical administration of ethanolic extract of leaves.

   • According to Ambika AP (2019)

     Excerpt Recent Advances: Studies have confirmed the antidiabetic & wound healing activities of Merremia tridentata, Argyreia speciosa & Ipomoea batatas, whereas Evolvulus alsinoïdes, Evolvulus nummularius, Argyreia cuneata, & Ipomoea carnea have wound healing activity. Future Directions: Plants from the Convolvulaceae family have had frequent traditional uses, & all plants selected for this study have antimicrobial, antidiabetic, & wound healing properties.

   • According to Kumar S (2010)

     Excerpt This study reports hypoglycemic effect of alcoholic extract of Argyreia nervosa roots (500 mg/kgbody weight orally) in normal, glucose loaded and streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. When given orally for 7 days in STZ diabetic rats, it produced significant antihyperglycemic effect & also reversed the changes in total hemoglobin & glycosylated hemoglobin content,.

   • According to JAISWAL BS (2018)

     Excerpt speciosa possess various pharmacological activity such as anti-aging, gastroprotective, analgesic & anti-inflammatory, aphrodisiac, antiviral, antidiabetic, anticonvulsion, antioxidant, antidiarrheal, antiulcer, central nervous system depressant, nematocides, nootropic, anticancer & many more. Argyreia speciosa (Linn.f.) (Family: Convolvulaceae, Synonyms: Argyreia nervosa) is used in the traditional Ayurvedic systems of medicine as well as in local health folklore.
